With Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day just around the corner, everyone is snapping up a fabulous festive knit. But this year at DP we've got matching knits for your little ones too!

In children's sizes from 3 - 10 years old, they'll love getting dressed up just like mum, big sister or their favourite aunt. We enlisted the help of three mums from DP HQ and their daughters to showcase their favourite Christmas jumpers. Which festive design gets your vote?

We all own leggings, and we know that you love jeggings - this season try out treggings for a fresh, new look. Combining the comfort of leggings but styled out as a more formal trouser, treggings are the most versatile piece to own this winter. Choose from must-have colours and statement prints for your weekend look to suit your style.

Moody checks are our favourite print this winter - try this look for a cosy pub lunch or shopping day out. Layer up a staple shirt with a fluffy knit for casual chic.

Or why not dress them up for an easy-to-wear look that can take you from day to night in an instant. Adding statement jewellery, high heels and a luxe biker jacket make this outfit ideal for saturday nights at the bar.

DP: Tell us about the new jewellery collection; what's the inspiration?Millie: I've always loved costume jewellery and dressing up. For the collection, I took influence from cherished vintage pieces that were passed on to me from my granny.

And why was Dorothy Perkins the right brand to work with?The quality of DP’s jewellery has always really impressed me. It looks so much more expensive than it is.

Do you have any jewellery styling tips to share?I love to wear bolder pieces with more simple outfits. I also like a matching bangle and earrings or a necklace and ring. Not everything at once!

What is your favourite piece from the collection?It's hard to choose as I love it all, but the floral statement necklace is definitely a winner.

And what would you wear it with?Some tailored shorts and a simple white blouse would be effortlessly chic.

Who would you most love to see wearing one of your pieces?Olivia Palermo would obviously be amazing, but I’d also love to see my friends wearing my collection – It's such a diverse range.

What jewellery do you choose to take your look from day to night?A statement necklace or some dangly earrings would instantly add some glamour.

How would you describe your style?It changes day to day; I love anything with a boho feel so I try to incorporate that look into my outfits. I also love simple tailoring.

Has your style changed much since you first appeared on TV?Yes, I used to dress very ‘Chelsea’!

Which trends are you loving for autumn?Monochrome is always a great go-to trend that you can mix and match into lots of different looks.

What's the best style advice you've ever been given?Dress to please yourself.

We teamed up with Cosmopolitan Magazine for their fabulous FashFest event last week. The highlight? A glittering Catwalk to Cosmo show featuring the very best fashion fresh from the British high street.

With Fashion Weeks in full swing across the globe, there's no better time to look for some extra style inspiration.

The catwalks might be showcasing next season's looks, but when it comes to street style, there are plenty of outfits ideas that work right now. One of our favourite key pieces is the tailored trouser – whether it's a neat ankle-grazer, cool wide leg style or on-trend culottes, there'll be a pair that fits your style and the ever-changing weather that September is throwing at us.

The Peg Style: these look great with flat brogues or loafers, and just as good with heels. Try them with a feminine shirt or blouse to revamp your working wardrobe.

The Wide Leg: stride out in navy checks or grey pinstripes – simply add a chunky wedge heel while the weather's nice.

The Culottes: they were big news for summer but work perfectly for autumn too. Try with high heels or even a knee-high ankle boot once the temperature drops.
